Description
Since pioneering the use of Halon systems in the early 1970’s, Fireboy has designed safe and effective engine room fire protection with no water or powdery residue. All systems are heat activated to discharge the clean agent gas automatically at 175°F (79°C) with no operator intervention required. With a Fireboy system, the fire extinguishing agent is released much faster than any possible crew response, resulting in a faster fire-out time and less damage.
- Discharge is automatic at 175°F (79°C) or optional 155°F (68°C) for round-the-clock engine room fire protection
- Many marine insurance providers offer a discount to boaters who install a fixed fire extinguisher system (contact your insurer for details)
- Total flooding of the engine compartment in less than 10 seconds for fast smothering of the fire
- 3M Novec 1230 Fire Protection Fluid and HFC-227ea leave no harmful residue to clean up
- 3 year limited warranty
- All steel refillable cylinders (except systems discharged in a fire)
- Helm display LED “charged/ discharged” status indicator panel included (see photo on page 2)
- Easy to read color coded pressure gauge on cylinder also identifies “charged/discharged” status
- Coverage up to 400 sq/ft
- Integrated shelf bracket mounting system
- Safety lockout design to minimize accidental discharge during installation and maintenance
- Rugged industrial designed pressure gauge insures trouble free performance
- International system approvals (FM, USCG, CE, RINA, BV) 4 HFC-227ea (Heptafluoropropane) and 3M Novec 1230 Fire Protection Fluid clean extinguishing agents are approved for marine use worldwide (EPA SNAP, European)
- Approved for Class B fires in engine rooms, machinery spaces and similar industrial applications
